How to get the ascii dec number of a keypress in WPF

Question

In winform, if i wanted to get the ascii code of a key pressed i would do like so:

Private void textbox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    int i = e.KeyChar;
}

how would i go about doing like so in WPF? Also, is KeyPress in winforms the equivalent of KeyDown in WPF?

Answer 1

You need to capture the KeyDown event in WPF as follows:

    private void TextBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        int ascii = KeyInterop.VirtualKeyFromKey(e.Key);
    }
